The Arrival of the Franciscan Superior Abbot

Blazingfast had heard the message of the ceremony. In order to spread the religious unity, he decided to visit the newly erected Abbey. Coming from England was quite a long distance. A bit tired he knocked.

Greetings!

I am Blazingfast o.f.m, Superior Abbot of the Grey Friars. I wish to have access to your beautiful convent, in order to participate in the introduction ceremony of Mother Finn as Abbess.

I come to greet Blazingfast at the gate.

"Welcome to Mauchline Abbey, Father", I say and smile. "My name is Firinne, and I'm a novice of the Cistercian order. Many also call me Finn. I regret that the preparations are still underway.. gardening and some furnishings mainly. I hope you will join us for prayer, but before then, I'm sure you could use food and drink, and a place to sit down. Will you come with me, Father?"

I am happy to follow you Finn.
